Capital One giving credit card users access to credit score

McLean-based Capital One Financial Corp. is offering its credit cardholders a new tool that will allow them to check their credit card score for free.

Credit Tracker gives customers access to their credit score, a credit bureau summary, a report card on factors driving their score and credit bureau monitoring that provides alerts warning users of potential fraud. The tool will allow customers to run simulations on ways to improve their credit without affecting their score.

Credit Tracker is available through the Capital One mobile app and will be available on the company’s online servicing site next month.
